I was under the impression that Magnaflows were basically straight pipes
Maybe I understood incorrectly...?
As for exhaust, I have Slowmasters, and even with my cam, my car sounds like "the typical Mustang". Which of course is not a bad thing, but a distinct sound would be way cooler. I've found that MAC flowpaths are just as deep as Blowmasters, but with a bit more rumble, and more "screamage" at WOT. Borlas sound really nice too, way tame at idle, but loud with a blatty quality at higher RPMs. But with a $500+ price tag for a full catback, it all depends on exactly how much you like the Borla note
I have never heard any quality complaints however, so this may be one of those cases that you truly get what you pay for.
As X and H pipes go, I had a Flowpath off road X pipe that was a real ***** to install (didn't fit right) and the sound was pretty quiet. I recently swapped in a BBK off road H pipe, and
WOW!
Loud as hell, the cam lope is much more distinct, and the install was a piece of cake.
Anyways, that's MY novice advice to yah. I'm sure people will disagree on my choices for exhaust, but I can only offer my limited "experience" and opinions.
Good luck, and you know where to find me on AIM
